But the GM approves and removes players already. Having a list that manages who can and cannot post in the IC isn't that big of a deal to give them, I wouldn't even consider it moderator level powers. The thread does after all *belong* to the GM in a sense, and I doubt moderators need to be bothered if a GM wants to take someone off of their active list. I think the power to remove should be handled by a GM, as they have to handle everything else anyways, I don't see the sense in bothering moderators whenever you want to remove someone. Then the situation has to be explained, could it be resolved, yada yada, where the GM should already be employing this methods already. However, if the removed user feels the GM did this unjustly, they can seek mod support, but it seems doubtful anyone experience that kind of treatment would want to continue with the roleplay anyways unless they were deeply invested in it. Then it becomes more of a human resources issue, fair treatment, etc.

Yeah, this isn't a moderation issue. It's not closing a roleplay, or editing posts, or removing them. It's not messing with player creations. It's just saying, "This player can no longer post in the IC thread." Or, "This player can post in the IC thread."

At some point, you have to trust that a GM will make the right decision here. You cannot save stupid GMs from their own stupidity, they will only find new, inventive ways to be stupid.
